it a publicity as Ship of desert due to its ability to survive without water for
long.

The taller brother of
camel – Giraffe on this ground too is ahead of Camel. A giraffe can go longer

can run swiftly four times faster than men @ 35 miles per hour (56 KMPH). Man runs at an average speed of 10 miles an hour
